Self-cultivation of Kamen Rider ZIO

Chapter 596 Revenge
When the terrifying ghost roar stopped.

The alien armor was shattered, revealing the super boy whose physical function had been restored to its original state.

He panted heavily, the fear and unwillingness in the face of death still remained on his face.

It wasn't until a moment later that he finally came back to his senses, and quickly lowered his head to check his body repeatedly.

no problem.

Everywhere is complete.

He... is still alive!

The previous scene of physical collapse was like a dream, as if it never really happened.

However, the statement of "like a dream" is only self-deception after all.

Except that he somehow survived...

Reality, still.

Ji didn't come back.

She still left forever.

With this in mind, a scream of grief suddenly came from Super Boy's mouth.

Obviously survived, but the super boy did not feel the slightest joy.

I just feel that my heart hurts badly.

This made Super Boy couldn't help but tightly clutching the lapel of his chest, and asked himself in a low voice: "What is this feeling... exactly!?"

"It's 'sad'."

Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded from behind Superboy, answering his question.

"It's so pitiful, you shouldn't have to bear such a 'price'...if you didn't have a 'self'."

The sudden voice startled Super Boy, and he immediately turned around vigilantly.

"Who are you?" he demanded.

"Time Robber, Swaruz."

Not paying attention to Super Boy's vigilance and vigilance, the man in purple, Swaruz replied with a cheerful smile.

"Remember, I am the one who saved you."

However, upon hearing this, Super Boy was not only not grateful at all, but also showed strong disgust and hatred.

"What is your purpose in doing this? Do you also want to... dominate me?"

"Domination? No, how come?" Swaruz shook his head, "I don't think so."

People are always prone to have a rather pure feeling for people similar to themselves.

Whether that feeling, is like, or loathe.

Even Swaruz is not immune.

"I just like you very much, so I can't help but want to help you." Swaruz said.

"Like... me?" Super Boy smiled bitterly, questioning, mocking, "I like one, who doesn't even know what he is... a tool?"

"Wrong." Swaruz shook his head.

"What's wrong?"

"Your sentence itself is wrong."

Saying this, Swaruz looked directly into Superboy's eyes with great oppressive force, not to deny Superboy's question, but to directly overturn the meaning of his sentence itself.

"I don't even know what I am...

"tool.

"Look, don't you understand that?
"So, it's not that you don't know what you are, but that you don't want to admit it, don't want to be reconciled, and don't want to live as a mere tool anymore.

"What you are thinking about is what other meanings of life do you have besides being a tool.

"What you are fighting against is your own destiny controlled by others.

"What you want is to have your will respected.

"Only this matter, I hope you will never make a mistake."

Swarlutz corrects Superkid.

And all his denials and corrections are for the next affirmation.

"That's why I like you.

"I like...you who are fighting so hard!"

For the super boy who was deeply saddened and confused at the moment, these words of Swaruz were like a guiding light that suddenly lit up in the dark, and he couldn't help but want to get closer. .

The sarcasm and doubts on his face disappeared at some point, replaced by the desire to get more guidance from Swaruz.

"Please, please tell me, what should I do next?" Superboy asked, "What should I do to find the answer that Ji wants, to find, what belongs to me, the meaning of existence?"

Hearing this, the corners of Swaruz's mouth turned up a little bit, and a devilish whisper sounded in his mouth.

"Follow my guidance, so, is it really good? I'm not a good person.

"And the help of the bad guys comes at a price.

"Aren't you afraid that you will become my tool without knowing it?"

Compared to before, the current Swaruz is obviously smiling, but the way he smiles makes Superboy feel an unprecedented chill that hits the bone marrow.

It was as if being targeted by a cold and terrifying poisonous snake with its cold-blooded hunting eyes.

Frightened, uneasy.

The super boy's expression froze for an instant, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, looking into Swaruz's eyes, uncontrollably showing traces of fear.

The vigilance value that had been reduced before was fully refilled in the blink of an eye.

"you……!"

Super Kid spoke.

However, as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Swaruz.

"In this world, there are only two kinds of people, the manipulator and the manipulative.

"Therefore, no one can trust anyone except yourself.

"You've got the power, haven't you?
"So, the first step is to take revenge.

"After that, it's up to you to think about what kind of meaning your life can have, and go on your own.

"I will not interfere in the slightest.

"but……"

Having said that, Swaruz's voice stopped suddenly.

Then, he took a deep look at Super Boy, his body was a little transparent, he didn't finish his words, but just disappeared in front of Super Boy.

Seeing this, Super Boy didn't say anything, just kept silent, quietly watching the place where Swaruz disappeared, recalling what Swaruz had just said in his heart.

It was not until a long time later that he lowered his head, looked at his hand, and slowly clenched it.

"In this world, there are only the manipulator and the manipuled.

"So, if you don't want to be manipulated, you can't trust anyone.

"So, can you only become a controller...?"

After a pause, Super Boy looked at the dark will-o'-the-wisp that ignited on his fist as he thought of it, and continued.

"Help from bad guys comes at a price.

"So, what is the price you gave me for this power?

"and also……"

Waving his hand to disperse the dark will-o'-the-wisp in his hand, Super Boy turned around.

"These words you say that others can't trust...

"How much more can I trust?"

After another moment of silence, Super Kid took a final deep breath and set foot on the way home.

"No matter what is waiting for me on the road ahead...

"Ji, I'm leaving."

then……

He reunited with the man and woman in kimono in front of the mansion.

"It's a boy."

The man in the kimono looked at the super boy who had returned, and was silent for a moment. He quietly took out two "baits" and hid them in his palms, but asked calmly.

"Where's Ji?"

Super Boy didn't say anything, just walked forward in silence, approaching.

The woman in kimono looked behind Super Boy, searching for Ji's figure, but to no avail, she frowned slightly, and asked:
"Didn't you persuade Ji to come back with you? Even if death is approaching, she still can't figure it out?"

Saying this, she turned her head, and then her eyes widened, and her pupils shrank instantly.

I saw Super Boy standing in front of the man in the kimono, his right hand burning with the dark will-o'-the-wisp had already penetrated deeply into the man's chest amidst the man's unbelievable expression.

Immediately, the super boy's calm and indifferent words reached the ears of the woman in kimono.

"Yeah, she can't figure it out."

These words were also passed into the ears of the man in kimono who was on the verge of death as Superboy withdrew his hand and fell to the ground.

"And, she will never be able to figure it out."

Saying this, Super Boy withdrew his gaze from looking at the woman in kimono when he was speaking, lowered his head, looked at the man in kimono on the ground, and answered his previous question.

Where's Ji?

"Ji, she's dead."
